    Walker is like 3 or 4 years younger though.

    We’ll see.  Certainly possible Bassitt gets 4 years but I think it’s growing increasingly unlikely…unless he’s getting far less AAV if he gets 4 years.

    Walker got four years and is 30 years old with 898 innings pitched.

    Eovaldi will be 33 with 1257 innings pitched.

    Bassitt will be 34 with only 737 innings pitched. His arm is fresher and I believe he will age well.

    Would Bassitt turn down a 4yr 80 million dollar from us? Maybe 23,22,18, and 17 million as the payouts. He has been productive wherever he has pitched. He has a 46-34 career record while Eovaldi is 67-68 while playing with Yanks and Red Sox.

    Right player right price is absolutely the best approach in the NFL because there is a salary cap and because the draft has such an immediate impact on the pro roster.

    In MLB, not so much.  Being cheap just means that your teams underachieve and that your fans are screwed.  

    No doubt. At least with the NFL we can see what the cap is even though it seems to be ways around it. We don’t have insights on how much ownership has given Elias to spend. MLB really needs to do something about it. With the luxury tax, a team like the Mets might out spend us 10-1. Before the season starts we can pretty much pick the teams that will make the playoffs. Maybe one or two will surprise. We just gotta hope we are one of the surprise teams.

    The Special Air Service essentially created the modern concept of special forces. Their motto is "Who dares, wins." Let's blow the whole thing up.

    Offer Carlos Rodon a 5 year contract @ $40M per year. Make him turn down $200M. Give him an opt out after 2 years. 

    The O's have the money. 5 years is short enough to not be entirely crippling in the current MLB economy. 

    It's time to make things happen.

    Lol why not just give him the 7years he wants for 200-210 million. 
    Orioles must be trying to model the Ravens in right player at the right price.

    The only number I’ve seen is on twitter. It’s $5 million 3 different times. Do you have anything that say what you are saying? Thanks

    This is how we receive Oriole contractual news- twitter from unknown sources and walking down the block you hear some guys taking what the contract numbers are. DeGrom signs and he passed his physical and we have all contractual numbers.

    I hope he is a replacement for like Bradish. Maybe we are trading Bradish and Hays to the Marlins for Lopez. Then we are trading some young guys for Brian Reynolds who just requested a trade. We already have a ton of Gibson’s in the possible rotation with Kremer, Bradish, Wells, Voth, and Watkins. Gibson has pitched ten seasons with three of the being above 100 ERA+. 
    Folks it’s time to wake up and hold folks accountable. We have been so mediocre at all we make excuses for poor signings ie He is Lyles 2.0, we probably got him for less than Lyles, we not done yet, etc. I don’t care how much we paid for him- it’s not my money. 

    Orioles interested in Syndergaard?

    I guess this is the new norm now with a lot of these meetings taking place over zoom. Wonder how a presentation looks compared to bringing them in and showing them around the ballpark and certain areas. Maybe these are just initial meetings and if you make it to a second date then you get a live meeting.

    If we get Rodon/Bassitt/similar type with Noah as the #2 or #3 I guess that’s okay.

    I'd be incredibly disappointed if this is one of the two bats Elias was referring to. But you might be right.  

    Most of us will be too! This is infuriating and depressing at the same time if this is one of the bats he wanted to add. It probably is though because why would he give him a split contract and guarantee him 450k for just the minors.
